You could call on Lady Day.
Above, a rare photo of American musical goddess Billie Holiday from a January 1944 performance at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, where she shared the stage with vibraphonist Lionel Hampton, whose vibes you see just to her right. Holiday, who was also known as Lady Day, is seen here with two trademark accessories—a flower pinned into her hair, and a cigarette.
